It's been getting under my skin how many of these kind of articles repeat the inaccurate (lie) "Hack a turned-off computer" theme For the sake of accuracy stop persisting this myth. Take away the wall power/remove the battery and the thing is dead, nothing is active (obviously doesn't apply to systems with internal battery if they're holding charge). What these articles actually mean is, if the system has power but is in the 'Standby' state (+5V standby), the Intel PCH/ME is active.
